Call for Proposals: ASLH meeting in Denver, November 6-8, 2014.

The 2014
meeting of the American Society for Legal History (ASLH) will take place in Denver, Colorado, November 6-8, 2014.
The ASLH invites proposals on any facet or period of
legal history, anywhere in the world. We also encourage thematic proposals that
range across traditional chronological or geographical fields. In selecting
presenters, the Program Committee will give preference to those who did not
present at last year's meeting.

Travel
grants will be available for presenters in need. These resources will
nevertheless be limited, and special priority will be given to presenters
traveling from abroad, graduate students, post-docs, and independent scholars.

The Program
Committee welcomes proposals for both full panels and individual papers, though
please note that individual papers are less likely to be accepted. The Program
Committee encourages the submission of a variety of different types of panel
proposals, including: traditional 3-paper panels (with a separate
chair-commentator); incomplete panels lacking either one paper or a
chair-commentator (whether 2-paper panels with a chair-commentator, or 3-paper
panels without a chair-commentator), which the Committee will try to complete;
author-meets-reader panels; and roundtable discussions.

All panel
proposals should include the following:

·A single page listing the panel
title, the titles of each paper, complete contact information for each
presenter (including chair-commentator), and any special scheduling requests.
(Note that we may not be able to accommodate all scheduling requests.)

·a 300-word description of the
panel

·a c.v. for each presenter

·for
paper-based panels only: a 300-word abstract of each
paper

Individual paper proposals should include:

·a c.v. for each presenter
(including complete contact information)

·a 300-word abstract of the paper

Please note
that AV equipment/powerpoint capabilities will be unavailable at the Denver
2014 conference.

The deadline
for submitting proposals is March 1,
2014. Proposals should be sent as email attachments to proposals@aslh.net.
Substantive questions should be directed to Joanna Grisinger (joanna.grisinger@northwestern.edu) or Mitra Sharafi (sharafi@wisc.edu).

Those unable
to send proposals as email attachments may mail hard copies to:

On behalf of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History, we welcome you to the Canadian Legal History Blog.

We hope the blog will prove a useful place for the wonderful community of legal historians we have in Canada. It won't be the place to go to discuss the meaning of the second amendment of the US constitution, or medieval pleading and practice, but we want it to be where we share knowledge and discuss aspects of the unique and exciting legal history of our country.

Please send us your news and/or views on research, publications, conferences and all things Canadian-legal-historical! If you would like a chance to post yourself, let us know and we'll gladly add you to the list.

To comment on a post, use the comment feature, or just send us an email.
